For anyone wondering, as custom excerpts don’t get trimmed by the excerpt_length filter hook, try adding this filter: function trim_custom_excerpt($excerpt) { if (has_excerpt()) { $excerpt = wp_trim_words(get_the_excerpt(), apply_filters(“excerpt_length”, 55)); } return $excerpt; } add_filter(“the_excerpt”, “trim_custom_excerpt”, 999);
Just illustrating this in full effect here with the filters and functions for both the adding of custom column and testing for excerpt existence. Note, I’ve purposely ripped the guts out of has_excerpt to show you in effect what is occurring under the hood. You can use !has_excerpt in its place. add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘no_excerpt’); add_filter(‘manage_posts_columns’ , … Read more
The problem will likely be a (very slow) callback that is attached to your get_the_excerpt() function. To inspect the attached callbacks, just inspect the global: // Best hooked to `shutdown` echo ‘<pre>’.var_export( $GLOBALS[‘wp_filters’][‘get_the_excerpt’], true ).'</pre>’; Then get rid of all those callbacks.
If you want to make use of all the nifty filters for the title and excerpt/content (and why would you not want that?) you should loop through a custom query instead of using get_pages and the pages’ plain contents: <?php $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘post_parent’ => $post->ID, … Read more
Your get_excerpt() function uses the global $post variable, which is out of scope inside your function. // Changing excerpt length function get_excerpt($count){ $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID); $excerpt = get_the_content(); $excerpt = strip_tags($excerpt); $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, $count); $excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, strripos($excerpt, ” “)); $excerpt = $excerpt.’… <a href=”‘.$permalink.'”>Read More</a>’; return $excerpt; } That means that … Read more
Th function wp_set_object_terms() will not work to set post object properties. To add/update/delete product short description there is mainly 2 ways: 1) the WordPress way from a post ID using wp_update_post() function this way: $product_id = $post->ID; // or get_the_id() or $product->get_id() (when $product is available); // The product short description (for testing) $new_short_description = … Read more
Use wp_trim_words() wp_trim_words( get_the_content(), 20 ) As you’re outside the main loop wp_trim_words( $recent[ ‘post_content’ ], 20 ) If you want to apply the same filters as to the_content() in the main loop wp_trim_words( apply_filters( ‘the_content’, $recent[ ‘post_content’ ] ), 20 )
It’s not. I believe when you go to make a post, there’s a box just below it that says “Excerpt” Whatever you put in that box will only show up as the excerpt. I tested it out and it works. You can view it on the website i’m currently developing here: http://www.kirschfamilycomputerservices.com/sam/wheresthefairness/ The first post. … Read more
The content is manipulated by the get_the_content function, and that function always assumes the current post in the Loop. You can’t pass it an ID, strangely. The easiest way to get just the bit before the more for an arbitrary post ID is: $p = get_post(1); $p = preg_split( ‘/<!–more(.*?)?–>/’, $p->post_content ); echo $p[0]; There … Read more
The easiest way is to use strip_tags(). // Remove all html from the excerpt. function custom_excerpt( $text ) { return strip_tags( $text ); } add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘custom_excerpt’ ); If you want to get fancy and trim the excerpt length, you can use this function. // Trim default excerpt length from 55 chars to 20. function … Read more
